![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Whatupwidat? - Jesse Conner
Debut album from songwriter and cartoonist Jesse Conner, 20 lo-fi gems ranging from the upbeat (Wolverines!), to the melancholy (Big News In Our Small Town), to the downright ridiculous (Hands Inside The Ride). All tracks carefully sculptured into the style he called "lo-findie", a mix of acoustic, pop punk, indie and folk. For fans of Guided By Voices, Beck and The Mountain Goats (active interest in Alkaline Trio helpful but not necessary).

| Almost a Leg - The Curse of Kevin Carter
Continuing with the sound of his Second Thought EP of the same name, The Curse of Kevin Carter sees Ross Baker in lo-fi songwriter mode for the second time. Seven nuggets of slightly dislodged melodies, tape hiss, guitar noise, lo-fi synths and surreal yet strangely familiar lyrics. The opening and closing pieces see the artist adopting a more expansive pop sound, while other tracks are fragmented and chaotic.

| Hard-A-Port - Jesse Conner
Hard-A-Port finds Jesse Conner moving slightly away from the sketchbook approach of his first three records, towards a more streamlined sound. A strong melodic sound is present on the twenty pieces here, with little trace of the noise rock and punk influence found on earlier recordings; instead, the album moves towards folk (Thunder in Calvi, Congletonian Tradgedy), fully fleshed out indie-rock (Call Out to the No Ones, Messages on the Ceiling, Spaced), and the epic title track, while retaining ...

| The Moment - Jack Anderton
Expanding on the his earlier ambient, atmospheric electronic music, The Moment starts in a calm unprepossessing manner with 3 ambient tracks before settling into a pattern of lightly toned ambient electronic music with a slightly poppy theme. One element of the album is the extended use of untampered field recordings which complement the ambience greatly. The album does change in tone and genre from beginning to end but is held together via the samples and melodies that lend the record an airy t...

Jesse Conner's second outing follows the template of his debut, but expands upon the acoustic "lo-findie" template, bringing in elements of noise rock (Second Stage Turbine Hat), psych folk (The Big Tree) and song collages (Someone's Sittin' There Mate). Another 20 slices of lo-fi pop perfect for anyone with a taste for acoustic guitars, surreal lyrics, irresistible melodies and tape hiss.

| Elephant Hour - Absence Attacks
Elephant Hour is a collection of Gregg Jackson's recordings to date, released to preceed his forthcoming debut album. The collection spans a period back to the more stripped back recordings with Ross Baker from 2003, through to self-recorded works between 2005 and 2010. While much of the record highlights Jackson's melodic songwriting through a number of self-penned classic pop style tracks, he also adventures into a few instrumental jams and experimental sound works through the record...
